Any bets on how many people show up on MR for MW

[MacNut]

Ok so MR set a new record last January, any ideas on how many will appear tomorrow and how many new members will register.

Dr Q, what is the average new member numbers after a MacWorld event.

 

[R.Youden]

WOW thats a lot! Especially considering it is the middle of the afternoon when people are suppose to be at work...

Or noon on the west coast — lunch time.

And that's just the registered people who were in the forums after the event to discuss. I believe it was 100,000 people who stopped by the main site for MacRumors' coverage.

Yup, about 109,000 simultaneous visitors (103,000 web and 6,000 IRC).

More stats can be viewed here.

I'd be nice to have stats on how many were on line last year the night prior to the event. If it's any indicator of a "gentlemen/ladies, start your engines", the present number signed on at the moment is significant, imo.

Hope someone tidy ups the place before company arrives.

That is as of 1:00 am est, how high will that number be by late afternoon.

I'll go out on a limb and say 134,000.

Mostly because of the stupid phone.
